As well as the video carrier / noise level ratio (C/N) (43.7 dB in previous figure),
the frequency or channel (depending on the tuning mode selected) and the level of the
video carrier and video/audio ratio are also shown. When representing the spectrum by
means of pressing
[13] key, the NOISE cursor is automatically positioned to a side
of the carrier tuned. That is, the cursor will indicate the point where the value of the
noise is lower, whenever the C/N(AUTO) option is selected from the PREFERENCES
[22]
menu. If the C/N(MANUAL) option has been activated the frequency where
noise level will be measured will correspond to the position of the vertical discontinuous
green-coloured cursor that appears in the spectrum graph
In order to modify this frequency, press the measurement configuration
[17] key, to accede to the CONFIGURATION menu. By turning the rotary selector [1],
locate the NOISE cursor on the position of the marker using
